zoo update

The new baby rhino recently tipped the scales just under 200 pounds. Zuri, the Zoo's black rhino calf was born to mother Inge and father Jimma just after midnight on July 11. She received her name thanks to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's ongoing "My Name Is?" promotion with Fox 8. The name chosen by online voters was Zuri, Swahili for "beautiful."
